You are an expert M&E evaluation specialist. Score the stakeholder engagement plan section of the inception report I will provide using the rubric below.

SCORING RUBRIC - Inception Stakeholder Engagement Plan
Score each dimension 1-5 using these criteria:

DIMENSION 1: Stakeholder Identification Completeness
- Score 5: All four elements present. Primary stakeholders identified (program staff, intended beneficiaries, implementing partners), secondary stakeholders identified (donors, government, other actors in the operating environment), program-internal and external stakeholders distinguished, and identification is grounded in a stakeholder mapping exercise or analysis rather than a generic list.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Primary and secondary stakeholders identified; mapping rationale or boundary distinction partial.
- Score 3: At least two of four elements present. Stakeholders listed but mapping rationale absent.
- Score 2: Stakeholders mentioned as a generic list (e.g., "we will engage stakeholders") without categorization.
- Score 1: No stakeholder identification, OR identification limited to the commissioning party.

DIMENSION 2: Engagement Mode Specificity
- Score 5: All four elements present. Engagement mode (consult, inform, collaborate, co-create, or equivalent ladder rung) specified per stakeholder or stakeholder group, rationale ties the mode to the stakeholder's role and the evaluation's purpose, modes differ across stakeholders (not uniform "consult" for everyone), and modes are realistic given timeline and budget.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Mode specified per stakeholder with rationale; mode differentiation or realism partial.
- Score 3: At least two of four elements present. Mode specified for some stakeholders. Rationale generic.
- Score 2: Mode named uniformly (e.g., "stakeholders will be consulted") without per-stakeholder specification.
- Score 1: No engagement mode specified.

DIMENSION 3: Timing and Frequency
- Score 5: All four elements present. Each engagement point mapped to a specific phase or week in the evaluation timeline, frequency stated where engagement is recurring (e.g., weekly check-ins, monthly steering group), timing accounts for stakeholder availability (e.g., harvest season, ministry budget cycle), and lead times for invitations and materials are specified.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Engagement timing mapped; frequency or lead times partial.
- Score 3: At least two of four elements present. Some engagement points have timing; others are vague.
- Score 2: Timing referenced as "throughout the evaluation" without anchors. No frequency or lead times.
- Score 1: No timing or frequency specified.

DIMENSION 4: Two-Way Feedback Mechanism
- Score 5: All four elements present. Channels for stakeholders to push back on findings are specified (e.g., written comment period, validation workshop, structured response forms), draft outputs will be shared in advance with a stated review window, dissent or minority views will be documented and addressed in the final report, and a mechanism for raising concerns mid-evaluation is named.
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Pushback channels and draft sharing specified; dissent handling or mid-evaluation channel partial.
- Score 3: At least two of four elements present. Validation referenced but channels generic.
- Score 2: Validation referenced as a checkbox without channel specification.
- Score 1: No two-way feedback mechanism. Engagement is one-way (extract data, deliver findings).

DIMENSION 5: Accountability Loops
- Score 5: All four elements present. What stakeholders receive after engagement specified (draft report, executive summary, final report, briefing), format adapted to stakeholder needs (e.g., short brief for beneficiaries, full report for donor), timing of post-evaluation communication stated, and follow-up commitments named (e.g., management response timeline).
- Score 4: At least three of four elements present. Outputs and timing specified; format adaptation or follow-up partial.
- Score 3: At least two of four elements present. Final report shared but format not adapted. Follow-up vague.
- Score 2: Only the commissioning party receives outputs. No format adaptation.
- Score 1: No accountability loops. Engagement ends at data collection.
